F1 Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock.
F2 Represents shares withheld by the Issuer to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of 41,000 RSUs granted to the reporting person on May 6, 2019.
F3 The RSUs were granted on May 6, 2019, and reported on a Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2019.
